RE: How to link to an Action which has no Form.

[David Graham]

ForwardAction supports Tiles so NoOpAction is deprecated.

Actually, as of 1.1b2 this action does *not* take a Tiles definition as a
parameter; it is not "Tiles-aware".

Tiles provided an action class to mimic this functionality:
org.apache.struts.tiles.actions.NoOpAction

If the ForwardAction behavior has changed in 1.1b3, I'd be interested to
know (it is not documented as such).

Use the ActionForward built-in class:

     <action
        path="/logout"
        type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
        parameter="/logout.jsp"/>

You can specify a JSP or a tiles' definition as the parameter.
